Last I knew, Secretaries couldn't request publication. That request represents the judgement that the document and publication request have WG consensus, a Chair judgement. By the way, while it is common to consult your AD, WG Secretaries can be appointed by the WG Chair. > This is also why I want the contributor section encoded better into the XML, > and I'd like the WG chairs and shepherd for a WG document always listed, so that in the > future, the DT can more clearly acknowledge this. I would be fine with the document Shepherd, WG Chair, and sponsoring AD being listed in documents as long as it was not too prominent near the end and only the Authors/Editors are listed on the front page. But they shouldn't be labeled as a "contributor" unless they actually made a technical contribution. Being listed as a contributor has IPR implications.
